Auto Documentation

Auto Documentation is a library for generating API documentation for Laravel.

What It Does

This package allows you to generate API documentation. Based on OpenAPI 3 and Redoc

Once installed you can do stuff like this:

// Create documentation for path
Path::get('/your/api/{endpoint}', 'Your endpoint name')
    ->group('Some group')
    ->tag('Some tag') // or ->tags(['First tag', 'Second tag'])
    ->parameters([
        PathParameter::make('endpoint')
            ->required()
            ->type(Type::string)
            ->example('myGoodEndpoint'),
    ])
    ->jsonRequest([
        StringProperty::make('some_property_name')->required()
            ->description('You can add description for each property'),
        BooleanProperty::make('one_more_property'),
    ])
    ->successfulResponse([
        StringProperty::make('message')->example('Success response'),
    ])
    ->secure();

// Or you can use existing schemas
Path::get('/your/api/endpoint', 'Your endpoint name')
    ->group('Some group')
    ->tag('Some tag') // or ->tags(['First tag', 'Second tag'])
    ->parameters([ExampleParameter::make()])
    ->jsonRequest(ExampleSchema::make())
    ->successfulResponse(ExampleSchema::make())
    ->secure();

//Also you can do that for routes
Route::make('name.of.your.route', 'Example route')
    ->group('Some other group')
    ->tag('Other tag')
    ->requestBodyFromRequestClass() // Get request body from validation rules in request class
    ->successfulResponse(ExampleSchema::make())
    ->secure();
